Invitation

The Workshop of Computational Fluid Dynamics for Nuclear Reactor Safety is held first time in Japan as CFD4NRS-10 after the 9th workshop in Texas A&M, CFD4NRS-9 in USA, and is hosted in Mito City, a cozy town 100 km northeast of Tokyo, by Nuclear Safety Research Center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA).

Since the inauguration of the CFD4NRS in 2006, a biennial CFD4NRS workshop series has been held as part of the activities of WGAMA¹ . CFD4NRS is one of the world’s most comprehensive technical conferences focusing on the areas of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and its applications to nuclear reactor safety.

The workshop is aimed at providing an international forum for engineers and researchers from various countries and organizations who are active in the CFD and nuclear reactor safety to discuss and exchange ideas for the solutions of technical problems, to be invited to participate in Benchmark exercises, while promoting collaborative work. The CFD4NRS series has been successful in keeping the meeting participants abreast of the most updated status of their fields and alerted to future challenges and opportunities by examining the present and likely future directions of the areas of endeavor. I take note here that a CFD4NRS tradition has thus been established and is perpetuated thanks to you all.

Thank you for attending this important workshop. I am quite certain that you will benefit from the attendance, along with great opportunities to CFD4NRS network with industry pioneers and leading researchers. I sincerely hope you enjoy the workshop.
